02 / DESIGN WITH INTENTION

Ways to use kleim's hardy gardenia
in wedding flowers.

These are design starting points. Test your sample with the actual cut material, venue conditions, and mechanics.

01

Modern bouquets

Position a few clear flower faces toward the main viewing angles. Use simpler supporting textures to preserve their graphic outline.

02

Bud vases

Test the head-to-vase proportion and the direction the flower naturally faces. A narrow vase opening and a large head can produce a very different balance from a low bowl.

03

Reception accents

Repeat the flower shape across selected tables or welcome arrangements. Keep cultivar and grade consistent where the pieces need to match.

03 / BUILD YOUR PALETTE

What pairs with kleim's hardy gardenia?

ASK YOUR SUPPLIERCan you confirm Kleim's Hardy gardenia with its single flower form, and supply the agreed bloom size, opening stage, and usable attachment for floral work?

Put these details on the order

  • Wedding date and delivery window
  • Exact variety, commercial form, and color
  • Usable stem length and head or branch grade
  • Stems per bunch, price per bunch, and minimum order
  • Conditioning, storage, and expected opening stage
  • A client-approved substitution and a revised recipe

For fresh cut material, use clean containers and follow the supplier’s conditioning instructions. Keep foliage out of the vase water and test the finished sample before committing to a long display. Dried and preserved products need their own handling plan.
